We granted select permissions to mycertificateuser. Do we need to give permissions to all the other users who are going to execute the procedure (i think not.. thats the point of this article).
You need to grant EXECUTE permission to the stored procedure to all users who need to execute the procedure but you do not need to grant them any access to the tables if you use a certificate.
Jonathan is correct. In fact it would be a bad practice to do so. One of the primary reasons for using stored procedure database access is to avoid ever having to grant direct access to database data. You don't have to implement certificate access to prevent direct table access.
Still a nice article that offers up some good information.
